We still export coal anyway and this govt doesnt care.
the best thing we can do is use our high quality coal, build more coal power stations and use it in our steel mill.
$200 million taxpayer dollars going to the steel mill just to make it run on electricity which will place more demand on the Huntly power station is hypocritical anyway.
I believe we are exporting high grade West Coast coal bringing in a high price and importing cheap low grade coal from Indonesia for power generation
